This book is meant to make you uncomfortable. There aren't neat little boxes or categories of good or bad. It's stressful and uncertain. The author has such a unique way of describing people. It shows that writing is an art, perception and creation, constantly chasing meaning.
I wish I saw more people taking about this book.
